Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jean-Nicolas-Louis Durand (1760–1834) regarded the Précis of the Lectures on Architecture (1802–5) and its companion volume, the Graphic Portion (1821), as both a basic course for future civil engineers and a treatise. Focusing the practice of architecture on utilitarian and economic values, he assailed the rationale behind classical architectural training: beauty, proportionality, and symbolism. His formal systematization of plans, elevations, and sections transformed architectural design into a selective modular typology in which symmetry and simple geometrical forms prevailed. His emphasis on pragmatic values, to the exclusion of metaphysical concerns, represented architecture as a closed system that subjected its own formal language to logical processes. Now published in English for the first time, the Précis and the Graphic Portion are classics of architectural education.

Book excerpt: This book represents the first multidisciplinary scientific work on a deep volcanic maar lake in comparison with other similar temperate lakes. The syntheses of the main characteristics of Lake Pavin are, for the first time, set in a firmer footing comparative approach, encompassing regional, national, European and international aquatic science contexts. It is a unique lake because of its permanently anoxic monimolimnion, and furthermore, because of its small surface area, its substantially low human influence, and by the fact that it does not have a river inflow. The book reflects the scientific research done on the general limnology, history, origin, volcanology and geological environment as well as on the geochemistry and biogeochemical cycles. Other chapters focus on the biology and microbial ecology whereas the sedimentology and paleolimnology are also given attention. This volume will be of special interest to researchers and advanced students, primarily in the fields of limnology, biogeochemistry, and aquatic ecology.

Download or read book The Violence of Modernity written by Debarati Sanyal and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2020-03-03 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Violence of Modernity turns to Charles Baudelaire, one of the most canonical figures of literary modernism, in order to reclaim an aesthetic legacy for ethical inquiry and historical critique. Works of modern literature are commonly theorized as symptomatic responses to the trauma of history. In a climate that tends to privilege crisis over critique, Debarati Sanyal argues that it is urgent to rethink literary experience in terms that recall its contestatory potential. Examining Baudelaire's poems afresh, she shifts the focus of critical attention toward an account of modernism as an active engagement with violence, specifically the violence of history in nineteenth-century France. Sanyal analyzes a literary current that uses the traditional hallmarks of modernism—irony, intertextuality, self-reflexivity, and formalism—to challenge the historical violence of modernity. Baudelaire and the committed ironists writing in his wake teach us how to read and resist the violence of history, and thereby to challenge the melancholy tenor of our contemporary "wound culture." In a series of provocative readings, Sanyal presents Baudelaire's poetry as an aesthetic form that contests historical violence through rhetorical strategies of complicity, counterviolence, and critique. The book develops a new account of Baudelaire's significance as a modernist by dislodging him both from his traditional status as a practitioner of "art for art's sake" and from his more recent incarnation as the poet of trauma. Following her extended analysis of Baudelaire's poetry, Sanyal in later chapters considers a number of authors influenced by his strategies—including Rachilde, Virginie Despentes, Albert Camus, and Jean-Paul Sartre—to examine the relevance of their interventions for our current climate of trauma and terror. The result is a study that underscores how Baudelaire's legacy continues to energize literary engagements with the violence of modernity.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abrege de l'Histoire du Canada: Depuis Sa Decouverte Jusqu'a 1840, a l'Usage des Maisons d'Education L'Abrege de l'Histoire du Canada, que nous publions aujourd'hui, etait demande depuis longtemps clans nos ecoles. Les chefs d'institutions se plaignaient avec raison de l'anomalie qu'il y a d'enseigner aux enfants canadiens l'histoire des peuples eloignes et des nations eteintes jusques dans ses particularites les plus minutieuses, et de leur taire toutes ces aventures chevaleresques, ces evenements heroiques, cette grande et religieuse epopee qui s'est deroulee autour du berceau de la jeune famille canadienne et qui lui sert comme d'une aureole de gloire. Nous pouvons donc dire que la publication de notre petit volume remplit une facheuse lacune dans la serie de livres mis entre les mains de notre jeunesse. Une fois la necessite de cet abrege reconnue, a qui devions-nous en confier la redaction ? Pouvions-nous hesiter un seul instant, lorsque a cote de nous se trouvait le savant que nous nous plaisons tous a honorer du titre de premier historien du Canada ? Nous avons ete heureux, le jour ou M. F. X. Garneau a consenti a reprendre sa plume pour ecrire une histoire a la mesure des jeunes intelligences, un Precis Historique degage de ces reflexions, de ces lecons politiques que l'on rencontre a chaque page de sa grande histoire et qui eussent ete pour l'esprit des ecoliers une nourriture trop puissante.
